Indiantown Mennonite youth group was here this past week as an ORI work team.
We took them to Antigua on Thursday for a day of sightseeing, where this photo was taken.
The team spent their work days at the Vida Ilimitada orphanage. They poured footers and laid block for a building that will eventually serve as a kitchen and laundry. They also dug ditches, moved dirt, and did some interior painting.
El Jefe - The Boss
The girls and I drove out to the orphanage on Friday to help prepare a special lunch for everyone, about 75 people with the team members, orphanage kids, and staff. We grilled hamburgers and also had chips, watermelon, and cookies. We did this as a special treat for the children at Vida, and they really seemed to enjoy it. This orphanage is on a very tight budget and the children rarely get anything other than rice and beans to eat.
After we ate, the group had a pinata for the little kids.
As always, Charlie's water rocket was a big hit with the boys!
Some kids had fun with the giant bubble wand.
The group also did some crafts with the children. I didn't include a picture of this, but the older guys played soccer while the younger ones participated in these activities. It was a fun afternoon for everyone.
